Neither Aliya nor Yoongi wants to go to sleep after they made love the second time that night. Aliya lays on top of Yoongi, resting her chin on her hands as she looks at him. She reaches up to touch his hair.

"Your hair is longer now. Are you going to keep it this way?" She asks him.

He lifts up an eyebrow at her. "Should I? What do you think?"

She sits up, moving next to him as she studies him ,drawing down his long bangs that falls past his eyes. "Uhm, I like you with this hair. Makes you look a bit roguish, you've always had this bad boy vibe and that makes you look sexier. That's one of the things I love about you." She tells him as she gives him a quick peck on his lips making him break into a huge grin.

"I like hearing you say about the things you like about me. Tell me more." He says.

Aliya scowls at him. "I never thought you're a narcissist like Jin too."

His grin disappears and gets replaced with a scowl. "Did you just compare me to Jin right now?"

"I was just say you're acting like a narcissist like him." She says.

"How can you be thinking of him right now after everything that happened tonight?" He answers back.

"I am not thinking about him the way you think I am thinking about him." She moves back when he sits up exposing his pale toned body.

"You shouldn't be thinking about him at this time at all period."

Aliya crosses her arms before her. "Are you seriously jealous of Jin right now?"

"Like hell I am." He answers back.

She stares at him as he breathes heavily, his eyes bright with anger, his cheeks flushed and his eyebrows knotted in a line. "Good." She replies.

"Good? Why?" He asks with a grimace.

Aliya leans towards him and kissed his lips. "It's good to hear that you're getting jealous because of me for a change."

"When did you get jealous with me?" He asks.

She gives a loud "Ha," in response. "Let me think, there's Miya, Aimee, Sara and the countless girls you pick up at the club and flaunted in front of me." She replies using her fingers to count.

"Same goes for you with Taehyung, pretty boy, George, Jin and the other men you dated that I never got to meet." He answers back pulling her close to him again, laying on his back with her in his arms.

"That doesn't matter anymore doesn't it? Because right now there's you and me." He says as he hugs her tight.

"Of course." She answers back.

"Let's go to my house tomorrow." He suddenly suggests.

"Your house? Uh, let's stay here." She tells him.

"I need clothes, my luggage is sitting in the middle of my living room. We can always spend the night here if you want."

"I uh, have to meet mom tomorrow. Why don't you go home and do what you need to do and I'll meet mom." She tells him.

"Is there something wrong? Why are you trying to avoid going to my house."

"No, I'm not avoiding anything. I'll go to your place next time." She kisses his hands that were in front of her chest as he holds her tight.

************************

He is puzzled over Aliya's continues refusal to go to his place. It's strange because she never did that before. He thought over and over about what could possibly be the reason but he can't think of one. He already had his things that he'll be taking at Aliya's place ready. His dirty clothes he brought from Japan were in the machine. He decides to check on his computer while waiting. He checks his email and gets a notification that he hasn't checked his security videos in a while now. It's true, he hasn't done that since his return to Japan when he last went home.

Yoongi browses through the security videos. He usually checks just in case something out of ordinary happened. It's a boring task that's why he's avoiding it. But, he has nothing to do in the first place as he waited for his laundry. He watches the video when he arrived with Sara from Japan. She looks so happy as she waits excitedly for him to open the door. He couldn't help feeling bad about what happened later on.

Then he catches something the next day and he felt his body turn cold. Aliya walks hesitantly to the front door after greeting the delivery lady. She knocks then enters the door. She didn't come out until more than four minutes later and she looks upset as she runs out the door. He runs his hand over his hair then buries his face in his hands as he remembers what happened that day. She must've seen it that's why she looks upset as she left. He had no clue she's there in the first place. No wonder she didn't want to go here. He stands up after shutting down the computer. He didn't bother wait for the laundry. It'll turn off by itself anyway. He hurriedly leaves his house to find Aliya.

************************************

Aliya's mom calls her to let her know she's cancelling their lunch because there's an emergency at the hospital. She did get surprised when her doorbell rings followed by the sound of her door getting unlocked. She checks the camera and she gives a big smile to her guest.

"You seem happy." Taehyung said as he gives her a hug.

She can't help blushing over his remark. "I am. So I guess you've heard?"

"I did, that's why I'm here. So it seems that Yoongi is serious this time." He says with an amused chuckle. "Sorry, I couldn't just imagine him getting into a serious relationship."

"That's mean, do I have to remind you that you were like that too?" She tells him as she hands him a coke from the fridge.

"I know. When Jin told me what he wanted to do, I thought he was just joking to actually get to you. I never thought it would really work. And Yoongi had a girlfriend who he breaks up with then gets back and breaks up with again is insane. We never have heard about it before all this even happened." He said after taking a long gulp from his drink.

"Well he did have a girlfriend. Me and my mom even met her." She starts telling him what happened and he ends up laughing.

"Oh man, I bet Yoongi's expression is priceless. It must've been fun to see it." He shakes his head. He became serious as he watched Aliya.

"What?" She tells him.

"I am a bit jealous." He tells her.

Aliya chuckles. "Why?"

"Because that means you're no longer in love with me." He says. "I did had a feeling before that it's Yoongi who will help you forget about me."

Aliya smiles at him. "You shouldn't be having those feelings anymore because you're married."

"It's hard to explain but it's not the way it sounds. I know you'll still be here but you know, Yoongi might not want me hanging around you that much." He tells her.

"He might, but we can talk about it. That is how I felt when you got married, although with a little twist." She says with a little blush.

He paused as he takes Aliya's hand. "I am honestly glad to see you're happy. Things have changed so much, our responsibilities are getting bigger specially with me in the office." He just got promoted as the assistant vice-president of their company.

"That's called getting old." Aliya laughs. "Soon, you will have children and you'll be more tied with them for sure. Lesser free time, going out and all. But not for me. I have things I need to finish."

"So that means you're not getting married yet?" He asks.

Aliya raises both hands up. "Whoa, slow down cowboy. We just started officially dating, just let us enjoy and experience this stage first before we jump to the next step."

Taehyung laughs at her expression. "You love Yoongi right?"

"Yes." She replies.

"If he loves you just as much then he'll be having those thoughts in his mind for sure." Taehyung tells her. He moves to wrap his arms around her again. "Anyway, I am happy that you and Yoongi ended up together."

Aliya makes a face at him. "Do I have to remind you how mad you were when you found out about us the day after your wedding?"

"That's different, you two were hooking up. I thought he's taking advantage of you. Things changed after, specially when he came straight to the lake house after his flight to Japan. When he went with you to see the sunrise, that's when I felt it. I own up to my mistake of judging him too soon." He says. "Because of that, we're having dinner at the hotel tonight. All of us, to celebrate."

"What?" She didn't expect that.

"Just say yes. It's going to be a long weekend so I'm letting you take the next two days off so you're officially off the whole week." He grins at her.

"But you can't do that." Aliya protests.

"I can, I am your boss am I not?" He lifts an eyebrow.

"No you're not." She reasons.

"Your boss' boss reports to me. So that's that, no more arguments. Just say thank you Taehyung."

Aliya grins at him. "Thank you Taehyung, you're the best."

"Anything for you Iya. By the way, my mom sent me this recently you should see it." He pulls out his phone and Aliya sits next to him. He opens a video of him when he was a baby. He's already walking and he's clapping his hands as he smiles at the person holding the camera, seems like it's his dad because his voice can be heard.

Taehyungie look who's here.

Then Aliya sees her dad walk in carrying a baby, it's her. The date on the video tells that she's less than a month old. She's still wrapped in a pink blanket which her mom still has up to this time. Her dad kneels next to Taehyung so he can see her better.

Taehyungie, this is Aliya. Can you say her name? Aliya. That was her dad talking and her eyes fills with tears as she gets to hear his voice again.

Say A--li-ya. Said Taehyung's dad.

Little Taehyung has a finger in his mouth as he smiles at Aliya's dad then his dad.

Iyah. He said in his tiny voice before giving everyone a wide grin as he dances around when they cheered after he said her name.

Give Aliya a kiss, gently, because she's still a tiny baby. That's Taehyung's mom.

Taehyung looks at his mom then at his dad. His finger's back in his mouth. Aliya's dad brings her closer to him again.

Just one kiss Taehyungie. He says.

Little Taehyung walks towards baby Aliya and gives her cheek a kiss. He even places an arm around her, as he lays his cheek against hers. He steps away with a proud smile and a clap.

Good job Taehyungie. You will be Aliya's older brother and you'll protect and take care of her ok? Aliya's dad said.

Little Taehyung bobs his head and answers Yes at him. That's where the video ends.

Aliya couldn't help crying. She's never seen this video before. Seeing her dad hold her as a baby and getting to hear his voice again overwhelmed her. She has videos of him, but she didn't want to watch them because it makes her feel sad. This is different, so much had unfolded in this video. Taehyung and her meeting each other for the first time, with all their parents present. Taehyung giving her a kiss for the first time, and her dad asking him to protect, and take good care of her as if he knew he'll be gone before she gets older.

"Oh my god." Aliya says covering her mouth as she sobs.

"I guess that's why I've always been protective of you Iya because of your dad's words. That's why I couldn't fall in love with you. As early as that time your dad said I'm your older brother." Taehyung joked even though his eyes were brimming with tears too.

"Dad." She whispers through her tears.

"We're bound to be bestfriends until the end." Taehyung said.

"And even beyond." Aliya answers.
